Fig. 4 is a view showing the capsule applied to a slow-match. Fig. 5 is a sectional view showing the capsule applied tov the fuse and the slow-match. Fig. 6 is a detail view of the stop er, and Fig. 7 is a view pf the device for ho ding the capsule to the use.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a slow match made of a loosely-woven fabric.

B, in Fig. 1, shows a cylindrical holder.

D designates a capsule made, preferably, of paper bent into conical form and filled with powder and has its apex D bent to form a ook designed to engage the fabric of the slow match.

F is a plug or stopper fitted within the capsule and has a central opening filled with powder.

H designates a fuse one end of which is held within the capsule by means of the holding device K, whereby the parts may be connected together.

In adjusting the device for use the capsule is inserted within the slow-match, the

hook portion D caught in the meshwork of the fabric in the manner disclosed in Fig. 5 of the drawings, and afterward said capsule is loaded, the fuse being held to the capsule by the U-shaped device shown 1n Fig. 7.

When the slow-'match burns up to the tapered end of the capsule, the latter is ignited, after which the powder therein is burned and the fuse ignited.

What I claim is 1. A time-igniter consisting of a slow- 5 5 match made of a resilient woven fabric, a capsule containing powder, one end of said capsule bent to form a hook adapted to engage the fabric, a fuse, and means for connecting the same to the capsule, as set forth. 6?;

2. A time-igniter consisting of a slowmatch made of a resilient woven fabric, a capsule containing powder, one end of said capsule bent to form a hook adapted to engage the fabric, a fuse, and a U-shapcd clamping device adapted to frictio'nally hold the fuse and capsule together, as set forth.

3. A time-igniter consisting of a slowmatch made of a resilient woven fabric, a

capsule made cone-shaped and its apex bent to form a hook designed to engage the loosely-woven fabric of the slow-match, a sto per mounted within said capsule, a fuse, and means for connecting the latter to said capsule, as set forth,
